Former Gunner in EPL return and other transfer gossip

Former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini could make a shock return to the EPL with Manchester City. The 25-year-old Frenchman, who can play left-back or in central midfield, is warming the bench at AC Milan which has alerted City boss Roberto Mancini. Flamini left Arsenal on a free transfer two years ago. The 25-year-old is desperate to play first-team football in a bid to keep his hopes of a World Cup place for France alive so a move to City would be very appealing to him. Elsewhere, Turkish giants are Galatasaray are monitoring Ryan Babel's situation at Liverpool and Benni McCarthy’s at Blackburn; Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham are all tracking AC Milan’s Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar; and Portsmouth defender Younes Kaboul could be in line for a return to Tottenham as Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate's injury troubles continue.
